Abstract
The major endoparasites of Cape hake are larvae of the nematode Anisakis sp. and the trypanorhynch cestode Hepatoxvlon trichiuri. Incidence and degree of infestation by Anisakis sp. were high and similar in both species, and the parasite is one of the most important natural enemies of hake. H. trichiuri was not as common or apparently pathologically destructive as Anisakis and infected Merluccius capensis more frequently and intensively than M. paradoxus. Other parasites of Cape hake, both internal and external, are listed.
